Quick facts about the Windy Canyon Lookout Walk:
Walk time: | 30 mins return |
Distance: | 1.1 km |
Elevation: | 64 m |
Track Quality: | The path is in excellent condition, gravel with quite a few steps |
Difficulty: | Medium - steep and stairs requires reasonable fitness and stability |
Buggies/Wheelchairs: | Not suitable, too many stairs |
Dog Friendly: | No, unless you have a DOC permit for recreational hunting or management purposes. |
Facilities: | There is a long drop toilet at the beginning of the track just next to the carpark. I imagine it would get very stuffy in there if it was a really hot day, it's a small space! Bring your own water. |
